Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a boot for a constant velocity universal joint.
  • the present invention relates to a boot for a constant velocity universal joint used for power transmission in automobiles and various industrial machineries.
  • a bellows-like boot is attached to a constant velocity universal joint used for power transmission in automobiles and various industrial machineries.
  • the bellows-like boot aims to prevent ingress of foreign objects, such as dust, into an interior of the joint and leakage of grease enclosed in the interior of the joint.
  • a resin boot made from a thermoplastic elastomer is recently being used.
  • this type of boot includes a large diameter section 102, a small diameter section 105, and a bellows section 108.
  • the large diameter section 102 is fixed onto an outer ring 101 of a constant velocity universal joint 100.
  • the small diameter section 105 is fixed onto a shaft 104 that extends from an inner ring 103.
  • the bellows section 108 is provided between the large diameter section 102 and the small diameter section 105. Alternating valleys 106 and peaks 107 are formed in the bellows section 108.
  • the large diameter section 102 and the small diameter section 105 are respectively fixed by a boot band 109 being fitted onto the large diameter section 102 and the small diameter section 105.
  • a valley 106 closest to the large diameter section 102 is not in contact with the outer ring 101.
  • the valley 106 closest to the large diameter section 102 may become caught between an opening end section and the shaft 104 at an opening section 101a of the outer ring 101 and become damaged.
  • the boot cannot function as a boot, thereby requiring replacement or the like. Therefore, in a conventional boot such as that shown in Fig. 3 , a diameter of the valley 106 is required to be large to prevent the valley 106 from becoming caught between the opening end section and the shaft 104.
  • a cylindrical section is provided between the large diameter section and the bellows section (Patent Document 1).
  • a cylindrical section 111 having a larger inner diameter dimension than an outer diameter dimension of the outer ring 101 is provided between the large diameter section 102 and the bellows section 108.
  • a thickness of the cylindrical section 111 is thicker than a thickness of the bellows section 108.
  • a boot in which the diameter of the cylindrical section 111 is successively widened from the large diameter section 102 side towards the small diameter section 105 side.
  • the boot flexes in an outer radial direction, as indicated by a phantom line, thereby preventing the valley 106 from becoming caught.
  • Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3 There is also a boot in which various boot thicknesses are set to prevent friction caused by rubbing within the bellows section in the bent joint state, thereby achieving enhancement in abrasion resistance.
  • Patent Document 4 There is also a boot that bends in adherence to the bending of the joint, thereby preventing damage and achieving an enhancement in fatigability from flexing.
  • Patent Document 1 Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 2525619
  • Patent Document 2 Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. Heisei 7-10561
  • Patent Document 3 Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. Heisei 6-82463
  • Patent Document 4 Japanese Patent Laid-open Publication No.
  • Patent Document 5 Japanese Patent Laid-open Publication No. Heisei 6-129536

  • the peak 107 is required to be designed to be higher to ensure bellows length (bellows film length). Therefore, a maximum outer diameter of the bellows section increases, thereby causing a spatial disadvantage.
  • an axial direction length of the cylindrical section 111 is required to be relatively long. Therefore, an axial direction length of the entire boot increases. As a result, the numbers and disposal pitches of valleys 106 and peaks 107 in the bellows section 108 may be restricted, and flexibility and stretchability may deteriorate.
  • Patent Document 2 In the boots described in Patent Document 2, Patent Document 3 and the like, abrasion resistance is enhanced. In Patent Document 4 to Patent Document 7 and the like, fatigability from flexing is enhanced, thereby extending life of the boot. Therefore, a boot such as those described in these Patent Documents and the like cannot prevent the bellows section from becoming caught in the outer ring opening section.
  • the present invention provides a boot for a constant velocity universal joint that is compact in shape and can prevent a bellows section from becoming caught in an outer ring opening section.
  • a boot for a constant velocity universal joint of the present invention includes a large diameter section that is attached to an opening end section of an outer joint component of a constant velocity universal joint, a small diameter section that is attached to a shaft connected to an inner joint component of the constant velocity universal joint, and a bellows section that is provided between the large diameter section and the small diameter section and has peaks and valleys alternately disposed in an axial direction.
  • a peak is provided adjacent to the large diameter section and to the small diameter section.
  • a peak and valley of an axial direction center section as reference, thicknesses of peaks and valleys to the small diameter section side of the reference peak and valley are thinner than reference thickness of the reference peak and valley and thicknesses of peaks and valleys to the large diameter section side of the reference peak and valley are thicker than the reference thickness of the reference peak and valley.
  • the thickness of the peak adjacent to the large diameter section is the reference thickness.
  • the peak is provided adjacent to the large diameter section and to the small diameter section.
  • the thicknesses of the peaks and valleys to the small diameter section side of the reference peak and valley are thinner than the reference thickness of the reference peak and valley, and the thicknesses of peaks and valleys to the large diameter section side of the reference peak and valley are thicker than the reference thickness of the reference peak and valley.
  • the thickness of the peak adjacent to the large diameter section is the reference thickness.
  • a valley closest to the large diameter section can be displaced such as to prevent becoming caught between an opening end section of the outer ring and the shaft.
  • the thicknesses of the peaks thicker than the reference thickness are preferably thicker than the thicknesses of the valleys thicker than the reference thickness.
  • the bellows section has seven peaks and six valleys, and third peak and valley from the small diameter section are the reference.
  • the thicknesses of the peaks and valleys can be increased or decreased within a range of 85% to 115%.
  • a difference between the thicknesses m and r of two arbitrarily selected peaks 16 and valleys 17 is preferably kept constant.
  • thermoplastic elastomer of an ester series, olefin series, urethane series, amide series, styrene series, and the like can be used as a boot material.
  • the present invention can prevent the valley of the bellows section from becoming caught between the opening end section of the opening section of the outer ring and the shaft. As a result, damage to the bellows section caused by jamming on the joint side can be prevented.
  • the boot can function as a boot for a long period of time. Because jamming is prevented, the outer diameter dimension is not required to be large. An interference range with peripheral devices can be reduced. Freedom in boot design increases. A design can be made in which the diameter of the valley closest to the large diameter section (position closest to the large diameter section) is made smaller than (lowered from) a track section diameter of the outer ring and a bellows length (bellows film length) is secured. A design having overall compactness in the radial direction and the axial direction can be made.
  • the thicknesses of the peaks and valleys can be increased or decreased within the range of 85% to 115%. Therefore, high dimensional accuracy is not really required, and simplification of manufacturing can be achieved.
  • the constant velocity universal joint boot 1 has superior strength and is advantageous in terms of abrasion resistance.
  • a constant velocity universal joint boot 1 is attached to a constant velocity universal joint 2, as shown in Fig. 1 .
  • the constant velocity universal joint 2 includes an outer joint member (outer ring) 4, an inner joint member (inner ring) 6, a plurality of balls 7, a holder 8, and the like.
  • a plurality of guiding grooves (track grooves) 3 are formed on an inner circumferential surface of the outer ring 4 in an axial direction.
  • a plurality of guiding grooves (track grooves) 5 are formed on an outer circumferential surface of the inner ring 6.
  • the balls 7 are placed on ball tracks formed through coordination between the guiding grooves 3 of the outer ring 4 and the guiding grooves 5 of the inner ring 6.
  • the holder 8 has pockets 8a for storing the balls 7.
  • a shaft 10 is connected to an inner circumference of the inner ring 6, via a torque transmitting means, such as serration or a spline.
  • a spline forming section 25 on which a spline 24 is formed is provided on an end section of the shaft 10.
  • the spline forming section 25 being inserted into a center hole of the inner ring 6, the spline 24 of the shaft 10 and a spline 26 formed on an inner circumferential surface of the inner ring 6 are engaged.
  • a stopper ring groove 27 is formed on the spline forming section 25 within an axial direction range of the spline 24.
  • a stopper ring 28 is engaged with the stopper ring groove 27, forming a dislocation stopping mechanism.
  • the constant velocity universal joint 2 is merely required to be that to which the constant velocity universal joint boot 1 can be attached. Therefore, various kinds of constant velocity universal joints can be used, for example, fixed constant velocity universal joints such as a Rzeppa-type or a Birfield-type, or slide-type constant velocity universal joints such as a double-offset-type, a tri-port-type, or a cross-groove-type.
  • fixed constant velocity universal joints such as a Rzeppa-type or a Birfield-type
  • slide-type constant velocity universal joints such as a double-offset-type, a tri-port-type, or a cross-groove-type.
  • the constant velocity universal joint boot 1 (sometimes referred to, hereinafter, as simply boot 1) is formed by, for example, a thermoplastic elastomer of an ester series, olefin series, urethane series, amide series, styrene series, and the like.
  • the thermoplastic elastomer has characteristics that are between plastic and rubber. While the thermoplastic elastomer is a rubber elastic body, the thermoplastic elastomer can be processed by an ordinary thermoplastic resin molding machine.
  • the thermoplastic elastomer has advantages such as having self-reinforcement properties, having sufficient strength without use of reinforcing materials, not requiring a vulcanizing procedure during ordinary rubber molding, and furthermore, achieving simplified composition.
  • the constant velocity universal joint boot 1 is formed from a cylindrical body and includes a large diameter section 11, a small diameter section 12, and a bellows section 13.
  • the large diameter section 11 is fixed onto the outer ring 4.
  • the small diameter section 12 is fixed onto the shaft 10 extending from the inner ring 6.
  • the bellows section 13 is provided between the large diameter section 11 and the small diameter section 12.
  • a plurality of valleys 15 and peaks 16 are alternately disposed in the bellows section 13 along an axial direction. Therefore, the boot 1 is provided with flexibility and stretchability in the axial direction.

  • a boot band 21 is fitted and attached to a fitting groove 18 formed on an outer circumferential surface of the large diameter section 11, thereby fixing the large diameter section 11 onto the outer ring 4.
  • a boot attaching section 22 is provided in a position on the shaft 10 that projects from the outer ring 4 by a predetermined amount.
  • the boot attaching section 22 has a ring-shaped engaging groove 23 along the circumferential direction.
  • the small diameter section 12 of the boot 1 is fitted outside of the boot attaching section 22 such as to cover the engaging groove 23.

  • the bellows section 13 of the boot 1 has seven peaks 16 and six valleys 15. Therefore, the peak 16 is provided adjacent to the large diameter section 11 and to the small diameter section 12.
